9. Types of Courses:
The courses included in undergraduate curricula are divided
into several groups as follows:
9.1 Core Courses: In each discipline a number of courses are
identified as core courses which form the nucleus of the
respective Bachelor’s degree program. A student has to
complete all of the designated core courses for his discipline.
9.2 Pre-requisite Course: Some of the core courses are identified
as pre-requisite courses. A pre-requisite course is one, which
is required to be completed before taking some other
course(s). Any such course, on which one or more subsequent
courses build up, may be offered in each of the two regular
semesters (if possible).
9.3 Optional Courses: Apart from the core courses, students have
to complete a number of courses which are optional in nature.
In those cases, students will have some choices to choose the
required number of courses from a specified group/number of
courses.
10. Departmental Monitoring Committee and Student Adviser:
10.1 Department monitoring committee: Each department
constitutes a Departmental Monitoring Committee with two
teachers from the respective Department as members,
nominated by the Academic Committee and Head of the
Department as chairman. This committee monitors and
evaluates the performance of the Course System within the
Department. The committee may also propose from time to
time to the Academic Committee if any changes and
modifications needed for upgrading/changing the
Undergraduate Curriculum and the Course System.
10.2 Student Adviser: One adviser is appointed for a batch of
student (around 30) by the Department Monitoring Committee
of the concerned Department(s) who advises each student on
the courses to be taken by a student. Adviser discusses with
the student on his academic program and then decides the
nature of courses for which he/she can register. However, it is
the student’s responsibility to keep contact with his adviser
who reviews and eventually approves the student’s specific
plan of study and checks on subsequent progress. The adviser
generally be of the rank of an Assistant Professor or above
from the concerned Department(s). However, in case of
shortage of teachers, Lecturers may be appointed as adviser.
For a student of second and subsequent semesters, the nature
of courses for which he can register will be decided on the
basis of his/her academic performance during the previous
semester(s). The adviser advises the students to register for
the courses during the next semester within the framework of
the guidelines in respect of minimum/maximum credit hours
limits.
11. Registration Requirements:
Any student who wants to study a course is required to
register formally. Being admitted to the University, each
student is assigned to a student adviser. The student can
register for courses he/she intends to take during a given
semester only on the basis of the advice and consent of his/her
adviser.
11.1 Registration Procedure: Students must register for each class
in which they will participate. Each student will fill up his/her
Course Registration Form in consultation with and under the
guidance of his/her adviser. The original copy of the Course
Registration Form(s) will be submitted to the Registrar’s
Office, and then the requisite number of copies will be
distributed to the adviser and Head. The date, time and venue
for registration will be announced in advance by the
Department’s Office. It is absolutely necessary that all students
present themselves for registration at the specified time.
11.2 Limits on the Credit Hours to be taken: A student must be
enrolled for the requisite number of credits as mentioned in
article 7.6. A student must enroll for the prescribed sessional
 courses in the respective semester within the allowed credit
limits.
11.3 Pre-condition for Registration: A student will be allowed to
register in those courses subject to the satisfaction of pre-
requisite courses. If a student fails in a pre-requisite course in
any semester, the concerned Department Monitoring
Committee may allow him/her to register for a course which
builds on the pre-requisite course provided his attendance
and grades in continuous assessment in the said pre-requisite
course is found to be satisfactory.
Registration will be done at the beginning of each semester.
Late registration is however, permitted during the second
week on payment of a late registration fee. Students having out
standing dues to the University or a hall of residence shall not
be permitted to register. All students have therefore, to clear
their dues and get a clearance or no dues certificate, on the
production of which, they will be given necessary Course
Registration Forms and complete the course registration
procedure. Registration Forms are normally available in the
Register’s office. An orientation program will be conducted for
only the first year students at the beginning of the first
semester when they will be handed over the registration
package on producing enrollment slip/proof of admission.
11.4 Registration Deadline: Student must register for the courses
to be taken within 1 (One) cycle from the commencement of
each semester and no late registration will be accepted after
2(Two) cycles of classes. Late registration after this date will
not be accepted unless the student submits a written appeal to
the Registrar through the concerned Head and can document
extraordinary circumstances such as medical problems
(physically incapacitated and not able to be presented) or
some other academic commitments which precluded enrolling
prior to the last date of registration.
11.5 Penalty for Late Registration: Students who fail to register
during the designated dates for registration are charged a late
registration fee Tk 500/= per cycle. This extra fee will not be
waived whatever be the reason for late registration.
11.6 Withdrawal from a Semester: If a student is unable to
complete the semester Final Examination due to illness,
accident or any other valid reason etc., he/she may apply to
the Head of the department. Each Department will decide for
total withdrawal from the semester before the start of the
semester final examination. He/she may choose not to
withdraw any laboratory/sessional/design course if the grade
obtained in such a course is ‘D’ or better. The application must
be supported by a medical certificate from any authorized
Medical Officer. The Academic Council will take the final
decision about such applications. However he/she will not be
permitted to the next year class unless he/she completes the
required credit for that year.
12. Striking off the Names and Readmission:
